Question: Are there additional costs for software and books outside of the course fees.Answer: NO-All information for the courses are provided for free in each lesson, which also means that the knowledge, tools, and process of creating a screenplay you will get to keep. For future ideas you have the resources to create and write a screenplay on your own (but of course we are always here if you need assistance).The recommended free software: “Raw Scripts”. There is no spell check or grammar edit, but that is what the second draft is for. This free software allows for easy sharing and edits, as well as quick note adds. Is it the best out there? No - but it is free, quick to share, converts to PDF files, and promotes the film industry standard of linear film writing. Also, you can use it from any web browser and does not require any downloading. You can write from your phone, tablet, and/or computer.If you would like to use other screenwriting software, you absolutely can, Raw Scripts is just a free, easy to use suggestion.
